Cherry Blossom Watch Update: February 25, 2013

There's still not a lot to see yet. The buds are clearly visible, but they're in the early stages. The NPS arborists are out doing one of their two annual pruning rounds to keep the trees in tip-top shape. It's still too early to predict the bloom, but sometime in the window of the last week of March through the first week of April is looking good (ie. an average year insofar as schedule).

Supporting the National Mall

If you’d like to help support the National Mall area, one option is to contribute to the Trust for The National Mall, an official non-profit partner of the National Park Service. The Trust is dedicated to marshaling private support for maintaining and improving the history National Mall. You can find more information on their website. I’m not affiliated in any way with the Trust–just an admirer of their mission and work.
